Conference Quick Start

Conference Access

You can join a conference by dialing a single-dial Entry Queue and then

enter the target conference ID or you can dial the conference directly.

All default conferencing entities are set to a line rate of 384 Kbps. You

select the Entry Queue or conference to access according to the video

display:

• Continuous Presence (CP) - to display the conference participants

simultaneously in video windows on the screen.

• Video Switching (VSW) - to display only the current conference

speaker in full screen.

Dialing string to the conference is composed of the Network Service

Prefix (default is 789) and the Entry Queue or Meeting Room

Numeric ID.

Calling a Meeting Room via the Entry Queue

Entry Queue is a single dial routing lobby to which all callers connect

and hear and view a welcome message. Callers are guided to their

target conference according to the target conference numeric ID.

To call the Entry Queue and Connect to the Target Conference:

On your H.323 endpoint, enter the appropriate dialing string according

to the required video display:

• Dial 7891111 to access an Entry Queue, and then enter 1000, 2000,

3000 or 4000 to access a Continuous Presence Meeting Room.

• Dial 7892222 to access an Entry Queue and then enter 5000, 6000,
